  • Hot Disc: The Hidden Cameras, Origin: Orphan

    oct09hiddencamera_lg

    Given the ever-surging popularity of choir vocals in top indie–thanks Antony, and the Johnsons too–I bet the Hidden Cameras are singing to a whole new host of converts. The Toronto ensemble’s fifth album of gospel, 60s-ish pop, and queer-as-folk tunes is out today, and holy! Such a congregration-pleaser. Though hardly a departure from past romps, Origin: Orphan (Arts & Crafts) has a purer, meditative sound–more uplifting, less down and dirty.
